Mayor & councillors

Liverpool has 11 councillors: a Mayor elected directly by voters, plus five councillors for each of two wards (North and South). Below is who currently holds office, with links to their official profiles and the election results. Liverpool's 2024 ordinary election count was conducted by a private provider, the Australian Election Company, rather than run directly through the NSW Electoral Commission's usual count — see the note below.

Want to raise something? Contacting your ward councillor or the mayor is one of the most direct ways to be heard between elections.

We list who's in office and link to their official profiles and the election results; we don't characterise anyone's politics. Party labels are those each councillor was elected under at the September 2024 election, or the April 2026 South Ward by-election (NSW Electoral Commission). Liverpool's 2024 ordinary-election ballot count was run by a private provider (the Australian Election Company) rather than directly by NSWEC, so the standard pastvtr.elections.nsw.gov.au result pages may not carry the full count detail for that election; we've cross-checked the outcome against the council's own records and independent reporting. A council's makeup can change between elections through resignations and by-elections, so the council's official page has the most current list. Separately, the NSW Office of Local Government has had a Commissioner conducting a public inquiry into the council's governance and administration since public hearings began in July 2025 (following a 2024 statutory investigation report); the inquiry was ongoing with no final findings released as at July 2026 — see the official inquiry page for the current status and documents.
